(Mixes) "highbrow academia with lowbrow smut as sweetly as
a caipirinha cocktail...(a) philosophical, biological and anthropological
debate of a book... a real eye-opener...a compulsive read...full to
bursting with witty retorts and wisecrack quips that will have you
laughing out loud at bedtime." "Biting humour, witty ripostes and
the sharpest sarcasm since Eddie Izzard's last tour... It's big, it's
clever and it's absolutely hilarious." |
"If lad lit had half the pizzazz of Millington's charming
novel, it might be a viable genre... Millington manages to make this
story less about star shtupping than the anatomy of romance. What
defines compatibility? Is it the food we eat or the humor we indulge
in? Millington explores these questions without succumbing to formula." |

pin-sharp observations about infidelity and the destructive nature
of sexual attraction." "Shrewd, intelligent and very, very funny." |

"Sharp, hilarious... crisp, comic writing, which includes
sardonic but believable dialogue and tightly focused, laugh-out-loud
scenes. Millington augments this fun mix with spot-on publishing satire." "Laugh-out-loud... a charming and funny read." |

"The argument it posits is chilling
enough to give the romantics among you nightmares!" "A treat.... This is a laugh-out-loud rollercoaster of a
book written with style." |
A "real
treat... Millington knows exactly when to cease the bon mots and mobile-phone
mishaps and show us how torn Tom is by his irresolvable, irresistible
desire for two very different women. This is a novel that could have
been a fluffy summer confection, but in the end is a four-course meal."

"An original way of addressing the issue of
what makes people unfaithful... Millington is good at getting
inside his characters' heads and delivering smart, sharp dialogue."

A Certain
Chemistry although a bit blasphemous [Eh?
Oh, right: Oklahoma - Mil.],
is hysterically funny... It is truly worth a read, and it really is
funny for both sexes. Men can relate to our main character, and women
can laugh at him. It truly is the best of both worlds.
